How would you cut a 3/16 groove in the 3/4 boards? (I need them every
2", making a total of 32 slots)
First measure the thickness of your plywood. 3/16" is nominal and will
vary slightly even with the same sheet. Measure it imperial and metric
then buy a router cutter to suit.
Or get a wobble dado blade and keep fiddling with the dial until
it hits the right thickness of cut. I get better cuts with a table
saw than with small router bits.
Measuring is always good; I like feeler gages for slot-too-wide
determinations.
In any case, the glue in your plywood is gonna gunk the blade; get
a brass brush and suitable cleaner (my preference is lye), you'll
need it to keep the cuts clean.
